Tycely Williams - How can I support you?

What does support truly look like? Martha and her guest, Tycely Williams, CEO for Liberty Fellowship, discuss the idea of support within the nonprofit sector as well as everyday life. The two also explore how self-awareness is essential for leaders and managers, especially knowing when to step up and when to step back. Throughout, you’ll learn how Active Listening has been key to Tycely’s work around building just and equitable communities, sustaining educational institutions, and being the leader that she wants to see in the world. Join us for a powerful episode about confidence, thoughtfulness, reciprocity, kindness, and of course, improving communications.

Here are this episode’s questions:

Guest Q from Tycely Williams: How can I support you?

Martha’s Q: When do I step up, and when do I take a step back?

Listener Q from Adrienne Taylor: How do you want to be contacted?

Action Item:

This week, reflecting back on Adrienne’s question, take a look at what way you most like to hear from someone. Ask yourself, “How would I like to be contacted?” Do you have lingering Whatsapp messages that you always forget to read? Do you have an inbox that’s so cluttered you don’t dare open it? Do you prefer talking on the phone to texting? Or is it a combination of multiple channels depending on the situation/circumstance? Take inventory of the many available contact methods and rank them based on what you find. Then, next time someone reaches out to you in your least favorite way for that particular situation, request that they pivot to one you prefer. They’ll be happy that they can get a hold of you easier, and you’ll be glad you asked.
